Silvio Dante Posted May 18, 2019 Report Share Posted May 18, 2019 Technically... As we’ve sold Lloyd Kelly after the conclusion of the 18/19 season, and there is no way Aston Villa or Derby can outrank them alphabetically, as at the start of 2019/20 (so at the next league game), AFC Bournemouth will be top of the Premier League. So, perversely, the answer is Lloyd Kelly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blimey, where to start with this?! Micky Tanner was a Bristol City player in the 1980s ....Rovers sold Nick Tanner to Liverpool in 1988 - he played around 40 games for them in 6 years - he certainly didn’t lift the European Cup four times. They didn’t even win it once while he was there - for the record, they won the European Cup in 1977, 1978, 1981, 1984 and 2005 ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Played against Nicky Tanner many times when he was at Mangoes. Never thought he'd turn Pro, let alone end up at Liverpool.

We were in the same division as Newcastle when we sold him, too. You haven't read my op properly, or I haven't explained myself properly/clearly enough. Otherwise, some good shouts: Gerry Gow, Chris Garland. Did Chris go straight into their team? Easy. The OP is badly written. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonBristolian Posted May 18, 2019 Report Share Posted May 18, 2019 The original post sets some odd parameters which I am just going to ignore. Simple fact is we have never sold a player who has gone on to reach a higher level in the game than Andy Cole. Not really relevant that we sold him on to Newcastle and then he moved from there to Man Utd. I cannot think of a player who has played for us permanently who has won premier league and champions league medals so he has to be the answer to the question in the title of this thread.

Offside Posted May 18, 2019 Report Share Posted May 18, 2019 I know this isn’t answering the exact question in the opening post, but the one player we sold (seemingly needlessly) that still rankles with me is Bob Taylor. What a player. I’m still gutted we let him go. Only a relatively short time later we had the likes of Liam Robinson and Ian Baird up front.

I cannot think of a player who has played for us permanently who has won premier league and champions league medals so he has to be the answer to the question in the title of this thread. I would also give an honourable mention to Keith Curle, albeit it took a couple of moves (Reading and Wimbledon) before becoming the most expensive defender in English football when he moved to Man. City, and also went on to play for England in the Euros in Sweden 1992. Played out of position by Graham Taylor (he was a brilliant central defender but no right back!). But I agree that Andy Cole is the most successful player to be sold by City, which reflects the title of the thread, if not the contradiction of the actual original post.

Pezo Posted May 19, 2019 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 Its the close season and we all have way too much time on our hands (but not enough to read the opening post apparently) so may I suggest turning this around and asking who isn't it (maybe only those that went higher otherwise its a very long list). So Andy Cole, when he left us Newcastle were in tier 2, all of Bobby, Bryan, Flint and Kelly outrank him and its none of them either. Its not micky Maynard, Tomlin, nick Carle, agosteno. Not sure how to rank players that went abroad, CSKA are pretty high on the UEFA coefficient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
